Staying Equal

To get less lazy, I make a training log. Now all of you can see how lazy I am wtf lol!!!!111

Been some of those weeks with big changes and not much me-time. Three weeks now with workout once a week. This is the worst day ever, because I had the opertunity to go to the gym, but didn't. I'm sitting here eating MEGA marshmallows instead (like marshmallows, but HUGE). Gonna get some oats after posting this. Well, I need some goals and stuff...

My last goal was to gain 10kg(22lbs), and it worked fine. Noticed it takes more effort to stay in shape now, but it made me stronger and I gave me more energy. Going to gain another 10kg when I'm satisfied with my stamina. Right now I'm mostly focused on stamina. Ideally I run for 30 mins five days a week. Since stuff is a bit messed at the time, I'll be happy with three days a week.

If you are going to let something laps, stick with the cardio. I have found that I will gain muscle mass pretty fast now that I have been big. Its like my body remembers -oh yeah, time to get strong- and it responds quickly. But the cardio I have to build again from the ground up every time.

That is how it is for me anyways.

At least 20 minutes a day at least three days a week is a good starting point. Also, running on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike is inferior to real running/biking in my personal opinion. All I'm really basing that on is the amount of improvement I've seen/experienced with both alternatives.

well thats straightforward, 3 times a week for at least 20 minutes...sounds doable! i will opt for running around an outdoor track and try to find hills too.

ENJOY milk with your marsh mellows.

They only make you puffy and energetic.They are not high in fat and if you keep working out, they won't get stored as fat.

Get your workout into a habit and we will clean your diet up later. it's not bad

CARIDOOOOOCARDIOOOOOOCARDIOOOOOOO

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Warmup with a 5 min testing program. Scored 49.4 and advanced from above average to good.

Tested myself a littlepullups: 10, not bad considering all the weight I've gainedpushups: 17, should start training this stuff

Motivation ain't to awesome, so I had one of the instructors teach me something new. Arnolds. Now I can't lift my arms.

Tested myself on 800 on the track, but forgot to stop the damn watch. I was alo reminded why I stopped running short distances twenty+ years ago.

Now I'm gonna eat some MEGAs and have a nap.

Been doing so much I haven't found time logging it. I've had 30 hour first aid training, emergency radio network training and have started training for sea/water search and rescue. Right now I'm out of MEGA marshmallows and eat a lot of oats (because it's cheap) and eggs (because I like it a lot). Been working on my stamina (because it suck), but haven't found as much time for workouts lately (because I'm LAZY).

Hopefull get more juice for the gym when I done with learning the skilz I'm working on.

YAY!! YAY! YAY! EAT now. Hurt in two days. DO it again and it won't hurt

I've gone back to morning workouts again. Only way I manage to squease it into my squedule. Been a lot expenses lately, so I have to work more. This morning i lifted stuff and did cardio. Nothing to brag about since I'm recovering from a terminal flu. It was terrible. Had it in my back, but because of my inability to sit still I haven't got rid of the back pain yet. And I haven't had MEGAs for months

Eww! Marshmallows AND peanut butter? omg... nooo!

I marshmallows on their own - or roasted with graham crackers (mmm!), but prefer honey + peanut butter, or jam + peanut butter if there is no honey. \/

Been fighting off what I think might be a flu the past few days, but despite the significant lack of sleep I've had all week last week, I am surprisingly still extremely energetic and still have a really healthy appetite for good foods.

Easter lunch today with the family was met with much yummy lamb, orzo, cooked beans, corn and baby carrots.

Yes, apparently my family eats Jesus for Easter.

Yay for lots of cycling / "patrolling" to sweat off all the yucky stuff, too! \mm/

I got shown another stretch... it looks similar to this...perhaps you know it:

1. Sit upright with your legs straight out in front of you

2. Bring your right knee up to your chest.

3. Then aim your right knee down to the ground, pointing to your right. Your right leg should be at a less-than 45 degree angle.

4. Then take your left leg and bring your left foot back behind you so that it is laying flat on your left side (as tightly "back" and "behind" your body as you can make it) and your foot is pointing to the left. --Your left knee should / could be touching the arch of your right foot (it doesn't have to touch, but it can for sake of reference at this time).

5. By looking at the current position of your legs, you should see a makeshift "N" formed from the tip of your left toe, up to your left knee, to your waist and up to your right knee. --Your right toes should be pointing in the direction of your left knee, deforming the "N" into a strange and possibly archaic rune character.

6. Place both hands behind you, supporting the top of your remaining body weight temporarily on your hands.

7. Lift your bum up, making sure that your "back" leg is still tightly bent at a less than 45 degree angle.

8. Take your left arm and place the back of your hand onto the small of your back (just above your tailbone). Keep your right hand supporting the rest of your body weight for the next few minutes.

This stretch is intended to give your knees some love. Especially if you do a great deal of cycling or heavy activity where your knees are being bent (like skiing on moguls, etc.), it will help to stretch the supporting muscles needed to give your knees strength and prevent them from complaining / hurting from lack of attention.

Cheers! \m/
